I cut the ribbon in Paris, and everyone in Paris speaks French — maybe you knew that. But I'm from Tennessee, and Tennessee girls don't speak French. So suddenly I'm stuck onstage with Minnie and Mickey and everyone is yelling at me in French — I guess they're telling me to get off the stage, but I didn't know what they were saying at the time, so I start dancing with Minnie and Mickey like on the show and finally my aunt comes and gets me off.
I see is that there are many people who destroy their marriages because of one-night stands with someone else. And as the French say, "C'est ne pas grave. " It's not something easy to swallow, but at the same time, it does not justify you to end a long-lasting relationship because something happened.
I love the French horn.
We are American at puberty. We die French.
I think it's important to be sincere. And I could be the most sincere just staying in [my] mother language actually. And that's the reason why I stay composing and writing in French.
Economically and politically, Germany is extremely stable. There are countries with functioning governments whose institutions don't work. My only concern is about Europe. There's a risk we will run out of time.

French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
Oh, the Germans classify, but the French arrange.
I learned this one growing up in Texas and, subsequently, living in Los Angeles: always use the 'usted' form when speaking to a Spanish official. Mexican border patrol cops don't like it when you call them 'amigo,' give them a hardy pat on the back, slip a $20 in their pocket. No bueno, it doesn't fly. By the way, those of you not laughing at that obviously took French in high school, and that was a gay choice.
We take it into account from the very beginning and try to steer couples toward items that lend themselves to those circumstances. Sometimes we have to steer a little more forcefully - you can't fry French fries in the New York Public Library.
My love is a thousand French poets puking black blood on your Cure CD collection.
You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.
I think the French girls are fabulous.
What counts as rational argumentation is as historically determined and as context-dependent, as what counts as good French.
The Russians imitate French ways, but always at a distance of fifty years.
In France, everybody realized that God exists, and that he is back in the French international team. God is back, there is little left to say.
Paris in the mid-'50s was a very interesting place. It was only ten years after the Third Reich had left, and the city was awash with guns, and crime, and racketeering, and all sorts of hangovers from a very difficult time in French history. So it's an interesting time to be a policeman.
I have never liked France or the French, and I have never stopped saying so. (15th February 1945)
French laicite is probably aggressive and antagonistic to the religion, but there are other models of secularism in the world where there could be reconciliation between religion and secularism.
England understands good Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine; in France, we just get French.
